Volume buttons as switch track!

I have never owned an apple product before the iPhone, and one of the main things I hate in terms of an MP3 player is that I can't switch tracks without the screen on - and even then, I would need to be able to see it to press the right spot on the screen.

I know it would not be difficult, and I think it would be great to have an option in settings like:

Volume buttons change track: (options
- When screen is off
- When screen is off w/ vibe
- When screen is off w/ ringer
- Never

It would just be sooo nice to be able to reach into my pocket and just hit the button... save battery too!

95% of the time I am listening on shuffle and occasionally don't want to hear the track, so I want to get to the next track!

It could even be something like "double press" changes track, or "hold for 2 seconds" changes track, etc..

The iPhone has so few buttons, we need to be able to make the most of them!

If you're using earbuds with the inline mic switch, you can double click that switch to skip to the next track. A single click will pause or restart playback.
